Boustany Flip Flops

The Stake Holder: "Boustany three days ago: Rep. Charles W. Boustany Jr., (R-La.), said he spent the past 48 hours urging the Bush administration to send help...read on

Boustany today:... "most of the red tape and problems have been at the state level. I have to say that the federal response has been focused on new orleans with search and rescue operations which is going very, very well at this stage. but we've had a completely ineffectual state response and this is being borne by the local communities to help now...read on

He must have received his Karl Rove memo. Ken Mehlman "talking points action figure" soon to follow.

in the midst of a massive betrayal of his state? That must be some powerful Kool-Aid or a potent threat. He sold out his home state for a little Bushie love, pathetic.

Probably found a horse's head in his bed or something

know that we know that it wasn't the state or the city that failed.

A Conservative Dem district anyway, John Breaux use to represent it. He needs to be defeated in '06.

NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR POLITICS!!! Remember righties, what you were screaming at us three days ago? Looks like it IS time for politics after all you heartless fucks!

Red tape should NEVER come before human life. Bottom line is that Bush could have declared a national emergency and bipassed the local officials, he did not do so.

you already said it took bushwa "THREE DAYS TO GET THERE!"

Besides, fuckface, the evidence will bear it out and you will be standing there with your thumb up your ass.

GUITAR, CAKE CUTTING AND VISITING SAN DIEGO, HE, LIKE BUSH'S COMMENTS ARE... "UNACCEPTABLE"!

How is it the fault of the state official when yesterday on Meet The Press the Jefferson Parish President said that Blanco had arranged for about three Wal-Mart trucks to deliver food and water to the people of New Orleans and that truck was stopped/turned around by FEMA. How is it the fault of the state officials when the state officials arranged for the Coast Guard to deliver diesel fuel to the officials of Jefferson Parish and FEMA told the Coast Guard not to give the fuel to the officials. How is it the fault of the state officials when FEMA cut the state officials only line of communication and the Jefferson Parish Sheriff had to go out and have the line reconnected and post an armed guard and tell the armed guard to shoot anyone who tried to cut the line a second time. Finally, how is it the fault of the state officials when the president of one area is blocking or trying to block FEMA from coming to his area in that he had food taken from a store and opened a school to feed people. It was not the state that screwed up it was the federal government, mainly FEMA.

the general rule of thumb was that it was always the bigger kids fault. No matter what. There is some blame on the local levels but it ALL falls on the feds anyway, remember Harry Truman "The Buck Stops Here".

and into the sea. Predictable.
